Let the EPA know that we demand changes in risky methods used in mining for oil, such as fracking, and stricter limitations to prevent dangerous chemicals from leaking out and polluting our environment.

The burning of all the gas and oil extracted fy fracking will spoil the atmosphere beyond repair, no use to use poisonous hydrolics to extract something we can't even use.

The irrevocable contamination of the millions of gallons of water needed for each fracking procedure is reason enough to ban fracking altogether. And if we did manage to burn all the substances we extract, the level of CO2 released would mean the end of any chance to mitigate the effects of climate change. We need to reject these methods of meeting our energy needs and move immediately to green and renewable sources of energy. The time for a new energy plan is NOW!
